A commission painting underway

22/8/2011

Well, this is my first post (welcome to the 21st century Peter Smith!) I thought I would begin with a commission painting just started to try and get the "wordy" juices flowing. The client wanted a memory of the place rather than a precise rendering of the scene, which suites my style, as my landscapes tend to be impressionistic. Light and colour are the things I look for.
I usually start my paintings with a very, very basic drawing of the scene with a brush and then "ghost in" a washy drawing approximating the colours (see below). 
Will post more as the painting develops. I do hope there is someone out there, as this is a bit like talking aloud to yourself - and I need a little lie-down!

Congratulations on arriving in the 21st Century Peter and long before me. Sadly, I cannot even offer you an ETA for when I might be able to skite of joining 'your league!' Love the translation about the commission piece and am very much looking forward to watching it progress.

I am finding the posting of the progress of a painting is actually helpful for me. You can easily create a website/blog Donna. This site was created at www.weebly.com - and it's free to build and host. Believe me it's easy as I have tried other sites without much success.

    I am a landscape/seascape artist living in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia (lucky me!). This blog is a diary of my thoughts and offerings of my art and its processes. I hope you enjoy it and stop by sometimes.
